Let the music pay

Make Music and Make Money

You are a successful songwriter/producer or film composer

You are busy working on recent projects but still looking for great add-on opportunities. You have a lot of quality music on your hard drive, including some spec productions with young talent that you couldn't find homes for and a lot of great song demos that you have produced and pitched for concrete opportunities.
Your publisher is focusing his active exploitation work mostly on your smash hit songs, which makes sense, by all means.
Although your manager is trying his best, he can't find matches for all of your songs.
You are also open-minded to any good job offers producing for film, TV shows, recording artists and such.

Here is how Gideen can help you:

Depending on your strategy, we can help in a sophisticated way:

1.) Start by checking your music catalog and select the song masters that you control worldwide, in which x% of the copyright is unpublished or a publishing share is available.

2.) Upload these songs to Gideen.

3.) We match your songs with all of our Gatekeepers (Partners) and more than 100 million daily monetization opportunities.

4.) We track unauthorized use in billions of videos, create and build up micro revenues over time.

5.) We use our very successful and proprietary international admin system to maximize global copyright income including "black box" allocations.

6.) After a few years, our predictive algorithms will decide if your music has seen it's highest value point.
If then selected, we will offer you to join a very lucrative exit sale for approx. 12 times forward revenues, something only very huge corporations have access to today and no one else can realize for non-hit music. At the time, you can decide if you want to exit and cash out or stay in to continue to receive future royalties.

7.) If you are actively seeking well-paid writing and production jobs, sign up via Gideen’s Job section and indicate your preferences and details. We match you with the top job offers from our Gatekeepers
and private Music Buyers from around the world.

8.) If your experience with Gideen is positive and you want to share this throughout your network to Gatekeepers or other Music Creative, you can join our free Ambassador Program and earn 10% of your referred clients' business, paid directly by us.

9.) If you find our new market approach appealing and want to benefit from and support it to help millions of other Music Creative, then becoming one of our corporate investors will be the right choice for you. (Please contact ir@gideen.com to learn if there is a recent opportunity).
Not only will your investment help us to further develop a vibrant music job and rights market together, but your input, voice
and public support can also make a difference for many others, and Gideen as a company.
And "yes", our unique business model will also lead to outstanding investment returns.

You are an active recording and touring artist or band

If you have recently reached a top 10 position with your music on the Billboard Top 100 Single Charts or Top 200 Album Charts, Gideen can't add significant value to your business model.
You are trying to leverage your hot content to gain a higher public profile and have plenty of opportunities to monetize. This is the focus of your management and agent, not Gideen's business.

But if you find our new market approach appealing, want to be included in actively helping millions of artists, as well as the hard working people around them, then becoming one of our corporate investors will be the right choice for you.

Not only will your investment help us to further develop a vibrant music job and -rights market together, but your input, voice and public support can also make a difference for many others, and Gideen as a company.

And "yes", our unique business model will also lead to outstanding investment returns.

If you've had success in the past, your goal is to have another top 10 hit song. You want to remain relevant, grow your fan base, obtain more and higher paid gigs, and of course, increase your income.

Depending on your strategy, we can help in a sophisticated way:

1.) Start by checking your music catalog and select the song masters that you control worldwide, in which x% of the copyright is unpublished or a publishing share is available.

2.) Separate the 'A level' songs, or songs with recent income of more than $100 per year, from the 'B level' songs with less income.

3.) Your management's best strategy is to continue working on the 'A level' songs to increase monetization, and this makes complete sense, by all means.
Lets partner up on your equally great 'B level' songs that no one else is pushing for. History proves that, often times, the real hit song gets buried as an album track. If no one picks that lead up, it will stay buried forever, no matter how good it is.

4.) We then actively promote and distribute your Gideen tracks to all possible platforms, as well as to our Gatekeepers.

Their priceless tie-in campaigns can lead you to a higher personal profile, an increase in follow-up business, more income and greater success.

5.) And our innovative pledge agreement grants you the right to pull any songs at any time if Gideen is unable to add value to your business.

You are a filmmaker, film or TV-production house and looking for music for your next project

You are producing multiple projects per year and have a constant need for songs and score music for your productions.

You license existing music and also work with film music composers to create customized music.

The standard solution is to create your own entity, housing the music and/or work
with music publishers to be able to collect the backend royalties internationally.
Often times, this isn’t a profitable solution for multiple reasons:

a) International collection quality is low and too many middlemen leave you with less.

b) Most songs are used just one time and revenues shrink after the first program syndication cycle.

c) Your catalog is too small to attract enough bidders in a sales auction, which leads to a low exit price, or no sale at all.

How Gideen can help

Working with Gideen changes this and can lead to an additional profit center for you.

1.) With Gideen you can become Promoter/Beneficiary of a licensed song and earn one-third of all music-related revenues of that song, including any follow up business that is generated.

2.) You can select from the most successful film/tv and hit record music producers in the world. Go to our Jobs section and start a contest, select the music producer or film composers you want to work with. You pay only when you are satisfied and also have the option to co-own and/or license this music.

3.) Gideen handles all music exploitation, is specialist in international music royalty collection and co-invests alongside the opportunity to increase success level.

4.) Gideen runs algorithms to determine the best time to sell and uses its aggregation power of (ten) thousands of assets to optimize the exit price. (We can realize minimum 12 times forward revenues only a very few very large catalogs can achieve today.)

You can join the sale with your ownership portion of the music and benefit 1:1.

Partnering with Gideen can improve your financial result by a factor of 10, no one else can realize for non-hit music today.

You are a Music Supervisor

As a Music Supervisor you are always under valued, under pressure and under paid. You spend 80% of your time hunting the next client, 10% to maintain relationships to music producers you need to get the music for your next job done and you try to squeeze the real work in the last 10% of your time.

Here is how Gideen can help:

1.) Go to Gideen.com and sign up, it's free.

2.) Go to "my search" and there are tag word search as well as multiple filters helping you to nail your music search down from hundred thousands of songs to a small number within less than 2 Minutes.

3.) You can share any track you like with your client, just click on the symbol on the song card.

4.) if your client agrees with your selection, you have 2 options:

a) you can "promote" the song and either you buy yourself into 1/3 of the future music income of this track or you name your client as Beneficiary and he (or his company, family etc.) will receive the 1/3. After check out as promoter for the song, you return back and select.

b) you can "license" the song and check out paying the licensing fee, our music uploader has asked for, all rights cleared in less than 60 seconds.

5.) If you can't find the perfect fit, go to our "Jobs" section, then to "Music Buyer", set up your details and you get all matches presented,?fitting music style, budget, timeline etc. - also in less than 60 seconds.?

You can then just click on the heart symbol of the song card and the music producer will receive an email with your invitation and requirements. That way, you always have the perfect signature sound for each job at your finger tip, no matter where in the world this music maker is. You can decide if you want to host a contest and only pay when you like a result or guarantee the named budget to the contest winner.

6.) We will rank you in our upcoming Music Super Visor Charts based on this simple formula: Total Chart Points = number of jobs realized with Gideen x number of songs licensed x total $ number you brought in as business. Not only that Gideen saves you a lot of time and trouble, the more active you are on our platform, the higher is your chart position and visibility for future clients. You are able to provide profile picture and resume and like in our song charts, clients can click on your card, learn more about you and if they like it, click on the heart button to send you an invite email for their next job.

That reduces the time for client hunting, because they are coming to you.

Here is why we strongly believe that this make sense:

Music Super Visors are the new rock stars of the digital music age ahead. ?With billions of user generated content comes millions of people who need guidance to find the best music fit for their product or project. And as good as technology can be, they want human interaction and consultants who can help them to figure out what they really want.

Today your clients are mostly local, tomorrow it will not matter anymore.

Gideen helps you not only to make more money in a very much shorter time. We also promote you and your talent in publications and blogs around the globe. And that gets you more jobs and leaves you with more time to do whatever you do best.

You are a Music Promoter

You are involved in music, either on stage or back stage. You started as an artist promoter, press promoter or marketing specialist helping others to develop a higher profile and better monetization.

You understand social media and how to leverage and grow networks.
Because most of your clients are either early stage or last stage of their business cycle you are frustrated because you can't help them enough and your financial rewards are small. But you are so passionate about it that you do it anyway.

1.) Start by checking your clients music catalog and select the song masters that you can control worldwide, in which x% of the copyright is unpublished or a publishing share is available.

2.) Separate the ‘A level’ songs, or songs with recent income of more than $100 per year, from the ‘B level’ songs with less income.

3.) Your best strategy is to continue working on the ‘A level’ songs to increase monetization, and this makes complete sense, by all means.

Lets partner up on your equally great ‘B level’ songs that no one else is pushing for. History proves that, often times, the real hit song gets buried as an album track. If no one picks that lead up, it will stay buried forever, no matter how good it is.

4.) We then actively promote and distribute your Gideen tracks to all possible platforms, as well as to our Gatekeepers. Their priceless tie-in campaigns can lead you to a higher personal profile, an increase in follow-up business, more income and greater success.

And our innovative pledge agreement grants you the right to pull any songs at any time if Gideen is unable to add value to your business.

And “yes”, our unique business model will also lead to outstanding investment returns.

You are a high profile actor and a great musician

Making music is something you clearly love, but have yet to turn into a top-level music chart success.

Gideen can help you:

1.) We actively promote your music to our powerful Gatekeepers and our global user base, leading you directly to more business.

To protect your public image, your music can’t be licensed automatically: interested parties must contact our special desk and we will then coordinate any music use with you and /or your team.

In an approach completely customized to your taste, we will develop special projects with our Gatekeepers and other famous artists in international markets to significantly improve your exposure and success level.

We are a very experienced team, having managed Talent and Music Catalogs for the past 25 years at our own companies in the U.S., Germany, Australia, and Japan.

2.) If you find our new market approach appealing and want to benefit from and support it to help millions of other artists, then becoming one of our corporate investors will be the right choice for you.

(Please contact ir@gideen.com to learn if there is a recent opportunity).

Not only will your investment help us to further develop a vibrant music job and rights market together, but your input, voice and public support can also make a difference for many others, and Gideen as a company.

You are an advertisement agency or consumer brand

You are producing multiple TV ads per year, as well as Content Marketing Films.

The Creative or Art Director handles music selection and use for a
respective campaign, or you work with a professional music
supervisor.

Your music-related copy test results are inconsistent and brand
recognition in focus group tests vary from campaign to campaign.
Before a TV commercial airs, larger brands use on-air and/or of air
quantitative and qualitative copy test procedures to optimize
an ad film.

Sometimes, the results are a clear positive or a clear negative and
the Creative Director has a strong indicator as to what the
“wrong” or “right” music for the ad is.

Most of the time, however, the test results are inconclusive.
This makes it nearly impossible to create a music strategy that is
consistent over multiple TV ads for the same brand.

Unfortunately, the music used has a major impact on “recall” and “recognition”, or the number of people who remember the brand and/or campaign x days after their first viewing of the TV commercial.

Gideen uses a self-developed proprietary “Brand Equity Transfer System” (BETS) - the result of a 2-year long study in cooperation with Procter & Gamble in Europe - analyzing music use and impact from thousands of TV ad campaigns of consumer facing brands.

The BETS and the sonic branding approach solves the problem and has lead to a 4.5 times higher brand recognition quote in Theatre Recall Tests, e.g. for Pringles, and has significantly improved results from other brands like Blend-a-med and Hugo Boss Fragrances.

Budgets for Music are tight and licensing music is a long and painful process.

Gideen can help in 3 ways:

1.) You can find the perfect song match in Gideen’s database within minutes, become that song’s promoter, and earn back one-third of the music licensing fees plus one-third of its backend royalties. That shifts music licensing as part of the production budget to music licensing as a profit center.

2.) You can significantly increase your Brand Recognition by creating
customized (sonic branded) music. (contact us via "help" if you want to learn more about this).

3.) You can reduce the financial risk by using our jobs market to host a contest with our top songwriters/producers and select whom you want to work with, paying only if you are satisfied with the results.

4.) You can find professional guidance by browsing our music super visor charts, ranking the best and most successful ones worldwide.

And if you click on the heart button of your favorite, we will connect you directly.

5.) And if you looking for a "sound a like" but don't have the budget to license the original song, just send us an email via "help" and we will ask the songwriter/producer who made the original record. Why working with a cheap copy if you can have original quality for an affordable price.

Promote your music and be high up in our real-time charts, ready to be discovered.

Take your catalog revenues
to the next level and benefit
from sophisticated algorithms and
our bargain power for catalog sales.

Still have questions? That's okay, this is completely new.

What is Gideen?

Gideen is a new, first-of-its-kind 3.0 music company that aligns the economic interests between music makers, music marketers, and music
users, simply by working together and sharing future music income.

The current hit-driven primary market is a blockbuster, "winner-take-all" market, where the majority of opportunities and generated revenues are distributed to just a few hundred superstars and top-level music industry executives.

Right now, there are 650 million songs competing for a few thousand monetization opportunities. As a result, only 268,000 songs are making more than $770 per year, and that includes all the hits from the last 100 years.

Gideen is creating a secondary market, with new revenue sources and opportunities for everyone, independent of the hit status and public profile that the music creator and/or artist might have. It's like the good old days when just the music counted.

By utilizing top notch matching technology, Gideen has created a new business model that incentivizes people who have monetization opportunities.
Gideen is playing this out on a truly international scale to multiply the chance of success. Gideen also simplifies the rules to make it very attractive for every music user to come clean and acquire a fully legit music license rather than operating in gray zones.

Who should use Gideen?

It's an alternative tool for music professionals, who understand the financial value of music recordings and music copyrights, and can use Gideen's platform in a smart way to optimize their catalog's value before a planned sale. Since numerous songs in a catalog may be earning little to no revenue, it's a good idea to increase revenues of this part of the catalog before leveraging the selling power of Gideen upon exit.

Or catalog owners who got their catalog back and wish to optimize revenues to generate a reliable annuity.

Or anyone who has produced great tracks or songs, but couldn't find the right monetization opportunities.

Who shouldn't use Gideen?

If you have your own large international network and can create top-level opportunities yourself, we may not add a value to your business. But for all underperforming songs/tracks, Gideen may be your best long-tail strategy, because it is structured as a global platform matching your music with millions of opportunities you can't find or look for the "old fashioned way."

Is there an upload or hosting fee for me?

No. Gideen is your record label and publisher for the tracks and song shares. Rather than taking your money for your music, we invest in your music.
Because without any active promotion and marketing, your music will not stand out and doesn't generate revenues, not for you and not for Gideen.
That's what we call an alignment of interests.

Is my music going through a submission process and are there other limitations?

There is no submission process, and you are free to upload any music for which you own/control 100% of the music recording.
In addition, you have to own or control an unpublished portion of the music copyright as well to enable our global monetization process. (It is required by Federal Copyright Law.)
Before you upload, you also have to make sure that all involved parties, e.g. other songwriters, publishers, recording artists, musicians, producers etc.
understand and agree with Gideen's Terms and Conditions.

You must not upload cover versions of an existing song that is written by other songwriters. And you must not upload music or content violating the existing copyright law or other laws.

Because promoters invest into your song/music track, your uploaded song has to be exclusive with Gideen and can 't live on other platforms in the market at the same time.

But no worries, if Gideen can 't add value by finding you a promoter or a licensee, or if your track/song hasn 't entered one of our Charts Top 200, you can delete your song anytime you want. Just one click on the song card in your Gideen portfolio, and there is no contractual obligation anymore.
There is nothing to lose.

What makes Gideen different than

We do

Gideen finds you partners who appreciate
your music. These are promoters who
co-invest in your music, and therefore are
highly motivated to use their network power
and opportunities to make it a success.
Gideen co-invests alongside these opportunities
and collects all music related income worldwide.
